Hagstrom - Krona 7 Burnt Charcol

With the Hagstrom Krona 7 Burnt Charcoal, the 7-string electric guitar becomes a true creative canvas for guitarists who love to take their riffs down into the lower registers. The seventh string isn’t just there to add an extra note: it changes the way a part is constructed, giving greater depth to the rhythm sections and allowing more scope for the low end to interact with the higher registers. This means you can stick to your usual playing style whilst opening up new possibilities for chords, riffs and melodic lines. In heavy passages, the low end lends weight to the overall sound; in more open passages, it can serve as a foundation, allowing the other notes to breathe.

The Krona 7 also adapts to your playing style. The two humbuckers deliver the dense, rich tone you’d expect from a 7-string, but the split function integrated into the tone controls allows you to lighten the sound when you want to move away from a thicker tone. This gives guitarists plenty of scope to switch from a full, powerful rhythm sound to a lighter, more expressive tone, without having to change instruments. The precise response of the Agent-X-7 and the more incisive character of the Penetrator-7 are particularly well-suited to playing styles where riffs need to remain clear, even as distortion levels increase.

Visually, the Burnt Charcoal finish enhances the character of this Krona 7 with a dark and assertive look, complemented by its Single Cut silhouette. The Hagstrom design also offers familiar features to guitarists who know the brand, with the Resinator™ fretboard and the H-Expander™ system integrated into the instrument. A 7-string that, above all, invites you to think differently about your guitar parts: going lower down the neck, thickening up a rhythm section, shifting a line into the lower register, or simply finding a new way to build a song.
